As a small boy I played and helped my parents in our everyday life like pitching water from a well near our house made of bamboos and nipas. We have no helpers so I am taking care of my brother Rafael & sisters Deling, Delia & Celing from step father Casemino Rigodon. Our neighbours are very helpful and kind. At the age of six to seven we played shells and palmo. At seven i begun to study in the public school in the poblacion Banga. Pupils seldom used slippers during this time.
